Introduction: The use of antiseptics and disinfectants in daily health protocols has a consequence of changing the quality of wastewater to be toxic to microbes. As a result, microbiological wastewater treatment has the potential to not be processed properly. To solve the problem of disinfectant-rich wastewater, a plant-based treatment method can be useful, the implementation of which is a land...

 Aims of the Study: The objective of this study was to appraise wastewater management approaches in rural areas of Iran, restrictions, effects on environment and also definition of suitable management approaches in wastewater for future. Materials & Methods: This descriptive study was performed in 2010 in rural areas of Iran. A questionnaire was prepared with subjects such as availa...

Data collection in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) has a significant impact on the network’s performance and lifetime. Recently, several data techniques that use mobile elements (MEs) have been recommended, especially focus maximising delivery. However, energy consumption time required for are many WSN applications, particularly real-time systems. In this paper, review of is presented, providin...

Wastewater collection systems (WCSs) not only play an indispensable role in urban life but also significantly contribute to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Based on extensive literature research, this study (1) summarizes current research the production mechanisms, influencing factors, control techniques, and quantitative estimates of GHGs emitted from WCSs (2) presents initial total GHG emissi...

Vehicular Sensors Networks (VSNs) are an emerging paradigm in vehicular networks. This new technology uses different kind of sensing devices available in new vehicles, to gather information about the driver’s environment (speed, acceleration, temperature, seats occupations, etc.) in order to provide a safer, more efficient and more comfortable driving experience. In this paper, we focus on a pa...

Organic pollution of rivers by wastewater discharge from human activities negatively impacts people and ecosystems. Without treatment, pollution control relies on a combination of natural degradation and dilution by natural runoff to reduce downstream effects. We quantify here for the first time the global sanitation crisis through its impact on organic river pollution from the threats of (1) i...

In order to provide a tool for predicting wastewater treatment performance and form a basis for controlling the operation of the process, a NW multi-layer forward small world artificial neural networks soft sensing model is proposed for the waste water treatment processes. The input and output variables of the network model were determined according to the waste water treatment system. The mult...

The talk presents two optimization problems within the part of a postal logistics network where collection takes place. First, the optimization of collection tours and, second, the allocation of pickup locations to sorting terminals. Both problems consider not only service time windows at customer locations and at terminals but also complex sorting capacities at the sorting terminals.

In the work issues related to modeling of the biological-chemical wastewater treatment plant are presented. A commonly-used control strategy including model predictive control of the wastewater treatment plant are presented. Then a model of biological and chemical transformations AMS1 is described and its limitations are pointed out. Then the feed-forward neural networks are introduced. The per...
